I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Chapter 96 Talulah, use fire on him!

Top floor of the command tower.

Deng Deng!

Hearing the heavy footsteps, Talulah, the Black Serpent, turned around helplessly and asked, feigning ignorance, "Sir, what's wrong? Has something happened to the Sarkaz rebellion?"

Bozokas looked down at her and shook his head: "It's alright."

His armor was now tattered, and a grayish-white skull was exposed beneath his broken helmet. A small part of the halberd he was carrying was also broken off. Most heartbreaking of all was his left arm, which looked as if it had been gnawed off by something.

"Oh?" Talulah the Black Serpent looked him over and continued to feign concern, "Sir, who did this to you? Wait a moment, I'll call a doctor right away."

Just as she picked up the communicator to turn it on, a sharp halberd, reeking of a foul stench, precisely shattered it to pieces.

"gentlemen?"

Talulah, the black snake, looked puzzled.

Bozokastie hissed, “No, stop pretending, Kosich, you schemer, I’ve had enough of Reunion. It won’t destroy you, I will kill you.”

"Ah..."

Talulah, the Black Serpent, released her grip, letting the crumbs fall to the ground. An elegant smile appeared on her face. "I don't understand, sir. I killed Koschei long ago, using..."

“This sword.” She slowly drew her longsword from her waist, pointing the tip at Wendigo’s head, and said with amusement:

"Bozokaste, you are indeed a great warrior. In my predetermined ending, we should never meet again. Hmm... let me guess, you not only want to save the Reunion Movement, but also her?"

"Hehe." Black Serpent Talulah shook her head with a smile: "Greedy warrior, your attack just now cost you your last chance to stop me. You should have just killed me."

"You will die." Bozokasti activated the cannibalistic ritual etched into his bloodline, the target of which was...himself!

As the ceremony progressed, the mangled flesh on his left arm gradually dried up.

But a tremendous power rose within him; he brandished his halberd and roared:

"Talulah, you are weak, ignorant, arrogant, impulsive, and devoid of ideals. Even infants cry, yet you remain closed off. Your fire is dim, illuminating nothing..."

Clang!

With a single strike, the black serpent Talulah, who was parrying with both hands on her sword, was sent flying, smashing into a wall made of high-strength material in the distance, leaving spiderweb-like patterns.

"cough~"

Talulah, the black serpent, cried out in pain, but Drak's tenacious body worked its magic. She quickly rose to her feet, bursting forth with blazing flames with each breath.

But it was no use. Bozokasti wielded his halberd, tearing through her magic with sheer violence, and continued his verbal attacks.

Talulah, the black serpent, was suffering in silence, but she was also silently keeping track of the time in her mind. This ritual that squeezed out her life force wouldn't last long. If she could get through it, she would win!

bump!

...........

Below the control tower.

Thanks to Bozhuokasti clearing the way, Bai Yue and her two companions, who had rushed here, encountered almost no resistance and arrived safely.

"and many more!"

Bai Yue reached out and grabbed Yelena and Chen Huijie, who were about to rush in. Her face was grave as she looked at the black mist seeping out of the command tower. "What the hell is going on? Did the cesspool explode?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Huijie asked anxiously, but still put on a patient demeanor.

Froststar noticed the black mist emanating from the kingdom and frowned. Why was it this troublesome thing again? And the scale of it didn't seem like something that would appear in a normal battle between the inner guards.

Did the stubborn old man encounter them?

Thinking of this, she became anxious. Her father's infection had worsened considerably over the years; if he encountered multiple internal injuries...

Bai Yue stared intently at the black mist and commanded: *Step back*

The black mist gradually retreated back into the command tower.

Seeing this, Bai Yue's expression relaxed a little, but then she looked dejected again and said, "Tsk, Froststar, your dad blew up the latrine, so we can't get up from there. Why don't you use Originium Arts to build an ice bridge for us to get up?"

Your dad blew up the latrine!

Froststar glared at him speechlessly, but then felt relieved. It seemed her father had killed the guards, which was good.

Then she looked up at the towering command tower and frowned, saying:

“Yes, but I need some time to prepare, and I can’t guarantee absolute safety. Ta... Koschke can melt my ice.”

"That's true."

Bai Yue nodded, also somewhat troubled. If she were hit by a few spells halfway down, falling off wouldn't be a big deal, since she wouldn't die from the fall anyway, but rebuilding the ice bridge would take a lot of time.

Suppressing her anxiety, Chen Huijie carefully observed her surroundings.

Suddenly, she spotted the Bad Guy flying in the sky and her eyes lit up: "It's Rhodes Island's aircraft! We can sit in it and jump up!"

"Oh." Bai Yue thought for a moment, then took out her pager: "Hello, Vishdale, can you hear me?!"

"Hiss... Hmm, I can hear you, little guy. What's wrong? Has something gone wrong in the battle?"

Bai Yue looked at the black mist rising from the building again and nodded, saying, "Yes, there is a source of pollution in the lower level of the command tower. Keep an eye on the command and don't let anyone approach this place."

"Also, see if you can find a safe place for Rhodes Island's aircraft to land. We're going to jump into the control tower from the sky."

"Hiss... Received, I'll arrange it right away. That aircraft in the sky, right? Coincidentally, we just cleared out a school. The playground is huge, and there are no ambush points around. It's in XXX. You can come directly over there."

"Okay, see you later."

Bai Yue said a brief goodbye, then dialed another channel: "Hello, can you hear me?"

"Hiss... Hey, this is Doberman, White, what's up?"

Bai Yue glanced at the aircraft circling in the air and said, "There's a problem with the lower level of the command tower, and we can't get to the upper level. We need your air support now."

"Have the pilot assess the safety of coordinates XXX. If possible, have him come down and give us a ride."

"Hiss... Hmm, okay, hey, this is Doberman. The target point has turned completely blue, you can land. How long do you expect to take?"

Bai Yue did a quick mental calculation and replied, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we will arrive in 8 minutes."

"Hiss... Heading towards target airspace, Bai, please reach the target location as soon as possible."

......

Top floor of the command tower.

Talulah the Black Serpent was once again repelled by Bodracuste, her arm bones cracking as she slumped down.

Feeling pain she had never experienced before, she frowned slightly, and listening to Bozocas's intermittent rant against Talulah, a wave of irritation washed over her.

"Enough, Bozokastie, you're utterly absurd! You think this will save her? Foolish! I didn't force her to do anything; it was all her own choice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, her lips moved again, and she struggled to say, "No...no!"

"What?" The black snake's eyes widened, and the resistance emanating from the depths of his mind made him pause for a moment.

Bozokastie seized the opportunity, swung his halberd to knock the sword out of her hand, then dropped the halberd, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up in front of him, completely ignoring the flames she unleashed.

"Talulah, either burn Koschei to death with flames and spend the rest of your life atoning for your sins, or I will end you!"

Amidst the raging flames, he resembled a ferocious demon.

Chapter 97: The Episode with the Most Bargain Opportunity

"The noise outside has subsided."

The brown-haired Ursus girl cautiously peeked out the window, a few strands of red hair highlighting her forehead falling down. Then she turned back and said, "The masked men outside are gone. We're safe for now."

“We can’t be careless.” Anna (Truth) shook her head, hugged the books in her arms tightly, and said calmly, “We need to search for food as soon as possible. We’re also running out of water, and if possible, we should also collect some medicine.”

Sonia (Winter) nodded. "You're smart. We'll listen to you, Gummy, Rosalind (Summer), Natalia (Early Dew). We should go out now."

Gumi rubbed his stomach, picked up the equipment he had collected from all around him, and sighed, "Hopefully, I can find something to eat."

Natalia silently rose and picked up her weapon.

The door opened, and air began to circulate.

Then...

Bai Yue, who was still several hundred meters away from them, keenly smelled the scent of these young girls, paused, and stopped on the rooftop.

"What's wrong?" Chen Huijie stopped and asked, puzzled.

Froststar also stopped, took out the talisman that had been transmitting a danger signal, and frowned: "There's something going on inside the command tower. We need to get there quickly."

Bai Yue nodded, not in the mood to 'hunt' at this time. She continued on her way while taking out her pager: "Hey, there are signs of human activity in XX city. It's a few girls. Send someone with some medicine to help them."

"Hiss... Command center received this and is dispatching nearby teams for rescue."

The two women who had been beside him both turned pale, but because the situation at the command tower was truly urgent, they didn't bother to argue and simply increased their speed to rush ahead.

...........

Peterheim High School playground.

The Bad Boy slowly descended to the ground. The gale-force winds stirred up by its huge rotors could almost crush all the weeds and trees, but unfortunately there were none here, only a group of Sarkaz warriors dressed in rough clothes.

The strong wind couldn't even lift their clothes, which were almost covered in grime.

Only Vishdale tightened her red coat and silently gazed at the school fence in the distance. Soon, she saw three figures leap over the fence and run directly toward the aircraft.

Braving the fierce wind, she shouted to the large mudstone beside her, "This place is yours. Keep them under control and don't attack those who aren't armed."

"Ok!"

Mudrock nodded vigorously, turning back to look at the Sarkaz, whose numbers were ten times greater than her original squad. Although she was a little flustered, she felt reassured when she saw the stone golem next to her, who was now much taller than herself.

We Sarkaz believe in strength above all else. I think the bigger the better. My rock golem is so powerful, I'd like to see which of these kids dares to disobey me.

Although the mudstone girl may never utter such "waaaaay" words in her life, the meaning is similar.

Bai Yue and the other two boarded the aircraft without stopping.

The Bad Guy took off directly from the spot, and only slowly closed the hatch in mid-air.

Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then smelled a sweet fragrance of a young girl. She blinked, looked at the ground, and saw a familiar armored figure.

Hey ho ho, isn't this our Mud Rock Girl? What are you doing here?

Bai Yue nudged Vishdale's waist and pointed to the mudstone on the ground, asking, "Where did you find her?"

"Ah, you're talking about him."

Vishdale chuckled:

"Isn't this the thing you mentioned about including food and lodging? I told him, and he immediately agreed to work for me. Yeah... I even chatted with him for a bit, pretty stupid..."

After saying the word "stupid," Vishdel realized what he meant and looked at Bai Yue, whose eyes were full of mockery, and smiled helplessly: "Don't look at me like that. It's the truth. A Sarkaz who yearns for a stable life, isn't that stupid?"

Bai Yue took her hand and shook her head: "How could that be? Whether it's the Sarkaz, the Infected, or everyone living on this land, they all have the right to pursue happiness and a better life."

"..."

Looking at him, Vishdel's eyes were a little dazed, but then she came to her senses, grasped his hand back, and chuckled, "Alright, alright, you always have a point. I'll listen to you, okay?"

Looking at her almost obedient manner, Bai Yue couldn't help but feel happy. After all, who could resist a sister-like character with endless tolerance?

But...

He glanced at Theresa, who was standing beside him looking down at the core city. It was a pity that her ideal man wasn't him, but this wicked woman; he was, at best, just the blond guy who came later.

Hey, this seems even more exciting!

......

The Bad Boy was very fast and soon flew over the control tower.

Fearing a sudden spell hitting the aircraft, the pilot cautiously stopped in mid-air at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, just enough to react.

Bai Yue stood at the hatch and looked down. The distance to the building wasn't too high or too low, so she figured she'd be fine if she jumped.

He turned around, mainly looking at Vishdel, and said worriedly, "It's a bit high. Why don't you stay on the aircraft?"

Vishdale shook his head: "I'm going with you. I have bombs planted in the tower. If something happens to you, you'll have another way to deal with it. Consider it insurance."

"Okay." Bai Yue was persuaded; it's always good to have more backup plans.
